Just got bit by an annoying WP bug: Doubleclicking comment text results in comment reply data-loss
To reproduce:
- Go to the Comments page in the WordPress admin (/wp-admin/edit-comments.php)
- Click the “Reply” link to respond any visible comment and begin composing your reply
- Realize you want to copy a single word out of the original comment, doubleclick the word to select it
- Surprisingly, this opens the comment’s “Quick Edit” view
- Click “Cancel”
- Click “Reply” and notice that whatever you were originally typing above is gone
Ouch.
